Added October 15, 2026. Written with AI assistance and checked for clarity and placeholders; not reviewed by a lawyer, accountant, clinician or other professional. How these prompts are made

The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.

[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it (what [VERIFY] means).

Create a peak hour staffing table. Sales or covers per hour on busy days: [HOURLY_DATA]. Service style and station list: [SERVICE_STATIONS]. Current staffing and complaints: [STAFFING_ISSUES].

Show how to calculate covers or orders per staff member per hour for each station, using my data, and propose staffing levels for low, medium and high demand bands. Build a table with the bands, stations and headcount. Include a method for testing changes for two weeks with measures such as ticket times and guest comments. Explain trade-offs between labour cost and service speed, and warn against cutting below safe levels. Mark labour rule assumptions [VERIFY] and ask me for missing data.

Also add a worked example with invented figures for a Friday evening, showing the calculation of orders per station per hour and the resulting headcount, and a list of service signs that show the team is understaffed.

Keep the tone fair and respectful to staff. Mark rules on working time, breaks and records [VERIFY] for [JURISDICTION], and avoid telling anyone what their entitlements are.
